Special Thanks to Sandwell Hospital

For more than 10 years, the cardiology team at Sandwell Hospital has supported the cardiology  training programme and patients management in Sudan. We are very grateful to all the team members, led by Dr. Rajai Ahmad. We would also like to thank Leslie, Zitta, Diane, Charlotte and Paul from Sandwell. Also during the last few years Dr. Jawad Khan has participated actively in training the staff in Sudan and managing patients in need and we thank him for his efforts. We would also like to thank Daniel and his colleagues at City Hospital. 

Over the years, many lives have been saved by the collective efforts of this great team and many doctors, nurses and technician were also trained in Sudan. PCI and PTMC  services are now well established and the echocardiogram programme was successfully  implemented with most of our echo technician having BSE accreditations.

This could not have happened without the great efforts of Rajai and  Jawad, so thank you once again.

In return for their marvellous contribution and participation, I AM PLEASED to announce that the 2 main lectures halls in Madani Heart Centre have been named as the Dr. Rajai Ahmad  Conference Hall and the Dr. Jawad Khan Lecture Hall in honour of them. 

Thank you very much once again and we hope this programme will continue and we are looking forward to your help and support.
